Central Arizona College has partnered with BetterMynd, an online therapy provider that partners exclusively with colleges and universities. CAC students can access confidential and convenient mental health services with a diverse network of health clinicians remotely for free —anytime, anywhere.
Tip: Be sure to monitor your credits on your dashboard. Credits allow you to book individual online therapy sessions and wellbeing workshops.
Online therapy removes barriers like stigma or fear of being seen getting help, cost, transportation, and availability. BetterMynd offers free discreet, flexible care that connects students with counselors who reflect their experiences and identities.
BetterMynd offers free 50 minute sessions with a trained, licensed, and trustworthy counselor of your choice.
During your first session, your counselor will ask you questions to learn more about you. This will help them assess your concerns and current well-being to determine the best way to help you.
This is also an opportunity for you to determine if this counselor is a good fit for you and your needs. Let the counselor know if there is any way they can better meet your needs. You can also easily choose a new counselor at any time.
Find a quiet, private, safe environment for your session.
Make sure your device is charged and has internet access. Your device should have enough battery to last throughout your 50-minute session.
Set up your device’s camera. Choose a well-lit area and make sure your camera is facing you so that you are visible to your counselor. It is important for your counselor to be able to see you so that they can better understand how you’re feeling by your reactions through body language and expressions.
Complement your 50-minute Individual Counseling session with BetterMynd’s live online Wellbeing Workshops. Get access to monthly workshops on topics like academic stress, disorders, emotional wellness, and so much more.
